“The art of communication is the language of leadership”-James Hums-
The Training
This course is for individuals and organizations who wants to develop a better understanding about the dynamics in their teams.
True leaders face challenges with self-esteem and confidence and promoting positive feelings in others. Leadership and communication can only be effective if we are able to truly connect on an emotional level with others.
The horses guide you through specific and simple exercises on the ground providing honest feedback about your authenticity, communication and body language. The coach will facilitate the process by asking questions that reinforce the learning process. Every training session is followed by a debriefing, reflection and discussion. During the training the focus is on the process and the choices you make. There are always key results for participants, particularly in the area of self- awareness.

The way of learning in Equine-Assisted Education is a whole body experience which ensures that the learning gets deep within the limbic system and is more emotional then learning in a classroom. This makes it easier to transfer the new learned skills and behaviour to the workplace and day-to-day life. Most of the training takes place outdoors, in case of bad weather it is possible to do the exercises in an indoor arena.
No horse experience is required and all exercises are on the ground. The locations are in Hatrivall (BE) at Ecurie des Iles or in Haaksbergen (NL)., If desired, it is possible to search for a suitable location in the Netherlands, Belgium or Luxembourg.
